I want to start this review by saying: I've never left a review or even had a yelp account until I…read moresaw the dishonesty from a previous reviewer and I want to help set the record straight! Our daughter has been enrolled at Learning Tree of Fletcher for just over a year now. We sat down with one of the owners and from the beginning we had a very positive and welcoming feeling from both owners Jen and Kevin. We felt the environment and the goals set in place were exactly what we were looking for in childcare and Pre-K. We were made aware of the pricing and fees before we signed any paper work. They let us know the cameras in the facility were to maintain a goal of total transparency and safety for children and their parents, however in the beginning they did have to work out the kinks in the system to allow the cameras to go live through a password protected portal online. They use what's called "Smartcare" which is an app that allows you to get updates on what the children are doing as far as activities, meals, nap, and play. They also on regular basis will take pictures and upload them during the day so you can see everything they're are doing in and out of the classroom. Also you can download the picture from the app for your own personal collection. Also within the app you can use the barcode provided to sign your child in and out if the center. You can pay your bill and see a breakdown of cost and also follow a link to their website. For Security you have a lock code that opens the door to the center and every parent has a personal lock code that is not to be shared. They do have annual enrollment fees like all centers we have visited and no hidden fees, which is great. Through the course of the year that our daughter has been enrolled, the center has put up a privacy fence, picnic tables with umbrellas and their camera system is now live online(with password protection) I know they're also looking into resurfacing the outside play area and upgrading their toys and outdoor activities. Our daughter has strived at Learning Tree. Her language and development are above or on pace for her age. Communication with teachers and the owners is great. They're very involved and always willing to stop and talk with you. They were great with potty training assistance. They do not start potty training until they are in the 2 and up class, but only took a few weeks once we began. They do parties and encourage families to attend and take part in activities. They had events for Mothers and Fathers day which was really nice. This is great facility that is still improving! My only complaints were in the beginning they had staff turnover, but Kevin and Jen are very particular in their expectations and some of the former staff were not meeting what I feel their "High Standards" were. Also the parking is tight and I know that's something they're exploring to improve. I know this is a lot of information to absorb but this is for our children after all and nothing is more important than knowing your child is safe throughout the day and is getting the proper care and preparation to be ready for Kindergarten!!! I hope this review helps in what you are looking for in a childcare center!!!

They were very open and honest with us parents about everything going on and decisions they made. Our son just started kindergarten and he was so well prepared because of the curriculum and teachers he had at Learning Tree! I would definitely recommend this facility if you're looking for a fun, safe, and interactive place for your kiddo(s)! :)

As directed, we reminded them monthly when exactly we would be starting. In one of our final check ins, two weeks prior to starting child care they informed us no place was available. We are now left without childcare options in the area, given waiting lists at all establishments. Do NOT trust your registration fee actually reserves you space.

I was not asking for a "party experience" - just a group lesson. Pegasus Hill Farm was the only stable that responded immediately and positively. They worked with my schedule and were prompt, honest, and professional in all communication with me. They even offered the use of their picnic tables and/or field for us to bring a picnic/cake if we desired. As the day approached, the weather was looking iffy, and the stable doesn't have their covered arena built yet. They offered to change the date or change up the experience to grooming and painting a horse if I could bring non-toxic paint. Horse painting! A new one for me. The day of the lesson, the staff at Pegasus Hill welcomed us even though we arrived 30 minutes early. They were very kind and hands-on with our group, and got the kids started with the grooming and painting. Several of the kids were able to get a short ride led by a staff member before the rain started. The staff were so kind and professional, even when some of the paint didn't totally wash off of the horse (stay away from hot pink/red!). And Megan even took the remaining two kids for a short ride after the rain stopped, though our scheduled time was nearly up when I asked. I am very excited that my girl is going to one of their camps this summer. All the horses seemed content and healthy, the stables are new - bright and airy, and the the staff are so generous and kind. The stable is located in a very picturesque area with great views of the surrounding mountains, yet it was a short easy drive from I-26. I feel very confident in their attention to safety and comfort for the kids. What a great experience!
